Rahul Gandhi needs to be ready for crushing defeat in 2029: Amit Shah

New Delhi [India], October 13 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and INDIA bloc leaders should brace themselves for crushing defeat as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to secure a massive majority in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Speaking to the reporters, the Union Home Minister took a swipe at the Congress party, saying that it is headed for its fourth consecutive defeat in the upcoming elections. Shah also accused it of attempting to shield infiltrators under the guise of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that the people of this country have fully understood your strategy of shielding infiltrators under the guise of the SIR, and they will no longer fall for your ruses. I also wish to tell Shri Rahul and his associates to brace themselves for a crushing defeat in 2029. The NDA is set to secure a massive majority in the 2029 general elections, and the Congress is headed for yet another defeat, its fourth consecutive loss, he said. Shah's remarks came as INDIA bloc leaders concluded their high-tea meeting at Rahul Gandhi's residence. Continuing the attack on Rahul Gandhi, the Home Minister said, You cannot win the trust of the nation's people through fabricated media events and 'Jhooth Ki Goonj'. You cannot become the voice of the nation merely by mobilising the cadres of fourteen parties to gather a crowd of eight thousand within a span of one and a half kilometres. Highlighting the gap between public perception and opposition strategy, he urged the Congress leadership to re-evaluate their outreach, pointing out that true national sentiment lies beyond major urban centres and central protest sites. I urge the Congress party to realise that the voice of the nation also resides in the fields and farms, in the villages, in remote hills and forests, and along the riverbank areas where you have no reach. There are many states in the country, such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where the people have rejected and defeated the Congress party for decades. Even today, the negative politics the Congress is pursuing will not benefit them. They need to understand the public and connect with the people, he said. Further, extending gratitude to the citizens for their continued trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he thanked voters across various regions for placing their preference on the BJP's 'Lotus' symbol amidst what he termed a storm of malicious propaganda. The people of this country stand with Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the NDA. You cannot deny this truth. Today, on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, I once again wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Tripura, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bengal, and Assam; amidst a storm of malicious propaganda, they have placed their seal of approval, their stamp of preference, on Narendra Modi, the BJPs 'Lotus' symbol, and the NDA, thereby strengthening all nationalist forces. I thank them sincerely on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said. (ANI)

Ranji Trophy: Rahul's Batting Trouble Continues; Jadeja Scalps Three Wickets After Century

Emanjot Singh Chahal: India star batter KL Rahul was dismissed for another cheap score for Karnataka as he followed his four-run outing in the first innings with one run in the second against Andhra in a Group B clash in Vijayawada. Meanwhile, another India veteran Ravindra Jadeja backed his century with a three-wicket haul for Saurashtra in the clash against Chhattisgarh in Rajkot in Group B, while Punjab have started to lose the plot in their Group B encounter against Assam. Karnataka are in trouble as they ended the third day at 176/4 and have only a 32-run lead. This could have been worse if not for an unbeaten 81 from Karun Nair, while captain Smaran Ravichandran is also unbeaten on 21. Rahul was earlier dismissed for one, while Mayank Agarwal also managed to score just 18. With one day remaining, Karnataka need some magic for an outright win, or else they can at most manage one point if the match ends in a draw, as they had a first-innings deficit. Andhra will take six points if they win (seven if they win by 10 wickets) or they will take three points if the match is drawn, as they have the first-innings lead after bowling Karnataka out for 274 and putting 418 in reply. Meanwhile, Jadeja followed his 102 from the first innings with 3-40 in the first essay with the ball to bowl Chhattisgarh out for 312. Saurashtra are 45/0 in the second innings at stumps on Day 3 and would fancy three points or a win on the final day. Punjab are seemingly losing the plot in their fixture against Assam in their Group B fixture in New Chandigarh. They ended the third day at 287/5 and trail by 86 more runs. Salil Arora and Emanjot Singh Chahal are unbeaten on 25 and 28, respectively. In Group A, Madhya Pradesh are 151/5 against defending champions Jammu and Kashmir in their second innings as Shubham Sharma went back unbeaten on 51 to help the team take their lead to 227. Puducherry were dismissed for 313 in their first innings against Vidarbha on Day 3 of the clash in Nagpur. Ritesh Gudge (95), Mohit Kale (78) and Nikhil Gangta (54) scored strong fifties, but Parth Rekhade and Aman Mokhade took three wickets each. In reply, Vidarbha are 22/1 at stumps and have a lead of 137 runs. Goa are trailing Baroda by 238 runs after being asked to follow-on as they ended Day 3 at 35/1. They were earlier dismissed for 199. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh defeated Bihar by an innings and 267 runs. In Group C, Delhi trail Bengal by 88 runs after ending the day at 101/3. Bengal had earlier posted 429 on the back of Abishek Porel's 149 and Sudip Gharami's 133. Kerala are in all sorts after ending the third day at 269/6 against Jharkhand in reply to 587, trailing by 318 runs. Maharashtra lead Services in Delhi by 172 runs after ending the third day at 66/5. They had earlier bowled Services out for 227. Odisha ended Day 3 against Gujarat at 119/4 and have a four-run lead, but Gujarat took a 115-run advantage in the first innings. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4. They had a 91-run lead in the first innings. Railways have a 158-run trail against Uttarakhand as they were 34/0 at stumps. They were bowled out for 278 in the first innings, while Uttarakhand made 470. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4.

Ranji Trophy: Siraj Leads Hyderabad To Victory; UP, Mumbai Also Win Big

Ranji Trophy Elite Division: India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj led Hyderabad to a strong performance and a huge win over Tripura in the opening Group B encounter in the Ranji Trophy, while Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai also bagged big wins inside three days of their fixtures. Siraj was named captain of Hyderabad for the first two matches and helped the team register a stellar innings and a 40-run win at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad.

Mumbai also made light work of Chandigarh in their Group D fixture at the Wankhede Stadium with an innings and 155-run win. Mumbai needed to bat only once and piled up 429 in the first innings after contributions flowed from several spheres. Captain Siddhesh Lad scored 86, while Musheer Khan (65), Tanush Kotian (58) and Mohit Avasthi (56) also scored half centuries.

Vote Chori Debate: Sharma points to 1987 J&K polls

Srinagar, Oct 12: Leader of Opposition Sunil Kumar Sharma on Monday revived the controversy surrounding the 1987 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, targeting the Abdullah family over allegations of electoral manipulation and accusing the Congress of having a history of vote rigging. Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Sharma said those raising questions about electoral transparency should first address the allegations surrounding the 1987 polls, which remain one of the most contentious episodes in Jammu and Kashmirs political history. If an allegation of vote chori is to be put on someone, it is on the 1987 rigging, Sharma said, asking the Abdullah family to answer for the controversy. The BJP leaders remarks came amid a wider political confrontation over electoral credibility, with opposition parties raising concerns about the electoral process and the BJP challenging their claims. Sharma also questioned Chief Minister Omar Abdullahs position on the issue, referring to his reported earlier praise for the conduct of the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. The LoP argued that the Chief Minister should explain the apparent contrast between those remarks and the oppositions present campaign. He further accused the Congress of electoral manipulation in the past and contrasted the allegations surrounding the 1987 polls with elections held during the tenures of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he described as fair. Sharma also alleged that a deputy commissioner named Khaliq had exercised influence over the selection of legislators in the past, claiming that some MLAs were referred to as Khaliq-made MLAs. The specific allegation could not be independently verified. The 1987 Assembly elections remain a defining chapter in Kashmirs political history. The National Conference-Congress alliance secured a sweeping victory against the Muslim United Front (MUF), which had emerged as a significant political challenger amid growing public discontent. The MUF won only four of the 44 seats it contested, while allegations of widespread electoral manipulation followed the results. The controversy has since featured prominently in debates about public confidence in democratic institutions and the political developments that preceded the rise of armed militancy in Kashmir. However, the regions subsequent turmoil had multiple political and historical causes, and the election should not be treated as its sole explanation. Sharmas latest intervention seeks to turn the historical controversy into a contemporary political challenge for the National Conference and Congress, questioning their credibility as they criticise the electoral process. Targeting the INDIA blocs street protests, Sharma argued that political demonstrations should not disrupt the daily lives of ordinary people. He said opposition parties could organise gatherings at designated venues instead of blocking roads and inconveniencing commuters, students, patients and businesses. People have to go to school, people have to go to hospitals, people have to open businesses. If you close all the roads, no one will allow you anywhere, he said. He also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his reported interaction with a woman police officer during the protests, describing the conduct as unacceptable. On the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Sharma said it would be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir along with the rest of the country, rejecting Omar Abdullahs reported assertion that the legislation would never be implemented in the region. UCC will be implemented in India, and Kashmir will also be part of it, Sharma said. The statement adds another point of disagreement between the BJP and the National Conference, which have clashed over constitutional questions, governance and the regions political future. Sharmas remarks thus linked the legacy of the 1987 elections with current disputes over electoral transparency, opposition protests and the proposed Uniform Civil Code, signalling another round of political sparring between the BJP and the INDIA bloc in Jammu and Kashmir.
